Thread Name: Whaling song -children
Subject: RE: Whaling song -children
Many years ago, my two children slept in bunks, one atop the other. One of their favourite songs from me when (allegedly) going to sleep, was "The Greenland Whale Fishery". They used to climb to the top bunk to spot the whale with a telescope, harpoon him from the lower bunk and fall out onto the floor to drown! There's at least one version in the Digital Tradition - we used the Watersons', which is my favourite.
